Task:
You and your group will be responsible for putting together a defensive presentation of an endocrine gland. You and your group will be giving this presentation during class. Your presentation must include: · A picture(s) of the gland showing its shape and location in the human body. · The hormone(s) produced by your endocrine gland. · The stimulus that tells your gland to produce hormones. · The control mechanism that tells your gland to stop producing hormones. · The function(s) of the hormone(s) produced by your gland. What are the target organs/cells and how does the message carried by the hormone help maintain homeostasis. This is probably the most important part of your presentation.
Location:
Ovaries are located in the pelvis, there is one on each side of the uterus. Hormones produced: · Estrogen: It makes bones strong; it lowers cholesterol; it causes the uterus to enlarge during the reproductive cycle. · Progesterone: It helps prepare female bodies for conception and pregnancy and regulates the monthly menstrual cycle. It also plays an important role in female sexual desire.
Control:
· Estrogens are produced by developing follicles in the ovaries, the corpus luteum, and the placenta. Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of estrogen in the ovaries.
